CAP.

Be it known that I, IULiUs CARLSON, aV citizen of Russia, having declared my intention of becoming la citizenvof the United States, and a resident of the borough of Broolrlymcounty of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inrCaps, of which the following is a'specification. f

The main object of my invention is the production of a cap for male wear, ofimproved construction and'superior finish, in which the `objections to caps as heretofore manufactured are obviated,-the invention comprising the specific combination, arrangement, and method of attachment of parts described and claimed, whereby certain practical advantages are attained as hereinafter fully set forth. v

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure l, is an exterior perspective view of my improved cap;

Fig. 2, is a longitudinal section thereof,

To all who/m, t may concern:

l taken upon plane of line 2 2, F ig; l, the

side being broken away in part;

Fig. 3, is a sectional detail upon a scale, showing the crown seam, and binding ta e; e

1vFig. 4, is a sectional detail showing the base seam at the front or peak connection;

Fig. 5, is a sectional detail of the base seam taken elsewhere;

Fig. 6, is a view of the under side of the fore portion of the cap, the vizor, and rear portion thereof being brokenaway in part.;

Fig. 8, is a diagrammatic view illustrating the loose lining as heretofore provided in ca s' e IFig. 9, is an enlarged sectional Vdetail showing the component parts of the crown seam, etc.

In the drawings the reference character' C, represents the circular outer crown cover piece technically known as the tip, and cx, the lining thereof. Heretofore cap linings as indicated in Fig. 8, of the drawings, have been secured in their entirety exclusively to the base seam of the cap, and consequently have been loose and flabby, lacking definite shape or stability, and hence affording no support for the exterior covering, and not Specification of LettersrPatent.

being conducive to the comfort of the wearer. Hence one of the distinctive features of my invention is the attachment,A bythe circumferential stitching c', of the crown lining cx, tothe crown cover C, as indicated more particularly in Figs. l, 2, 3, 7 and 9,' of the drawings, and the attachment of both crown C, and lining cx, to the side covers S, Sand side linings sx, sx, by a circumscribing line of coupling stitching a, as shown more particularly in Fig. 9.- v Y ,The crown seam thus constituted is covered internally by a binding strip d, by means ofv parallel lines d, d2, of stitching, adjacent to but beyond the conjoined inturned edges of the crown piece C, and its lining 0X, and the Aupper edges of the side covers S, S, and side linings SX, sx, the latter being securedvtogether by the circumscrib-- ing line s', of stitching indicated in Fig. 9. 'IheV component parts of the crownseam, and the binding strip ,are shown in cross section in the latter figure of the drawing, by reference to which, and to Fig. 3, in conjunction therewith, it will be seen .that the binding strip d, not only reinforces .the said crown seam, but also isolates and conceals it from view, and from contact with extraneous things,-furthermore, imparting. an attractive finish to the crown both' internally and externally as will be seen by reference particularly to Figs. l and 2. That is to say, viewed externally, the cap shows the circumscribing triple crown lines a, ai', (Z2, which afford a decorative effect; while viewed internally the cap displays the binding strip d, with its two lines of stitching d', cl2, af-

fording a novel zone effect which is entirely original with my structure of cap.

Incidentally it is to be noted that my method of attaching the crown lining c", to the tip or crown cover section C, obviates the necessity for the use of a stiffener of milliner or other coarse intermediate lin- Y S, and of the side linings 5X, are attached to each other by and at the base seam b, as shown more particularly in the detail views Figs. 4 and 5,-Fig. 4, being a sectional illustration of the seam on the line of juncture with the vizor or peak l), of the cap, and Fig. 5, a sectional diagram showing the base seam as formed elsewhere around the rim of the cap. By reference to both of said Figs. 4 and 5, it will be seen that the lower edges of both outer cloth S, and lining 3X, of the sidesections are inturned, and that one edge of the annular band of coarse buru lap or equivalent material which constitutes the rim stiifener o", and prescribes the size of the cap, is interposed in the fold or lap of the side cloth; and by reference particularly to lfig. 4, that the inner edge of vizor l, is

` superposed between the inturned edges of both side cloth S, and lining SX, so that a single annular row of stitching, represented by the lines b, secures not onl said size or stiffener r, but also the pe-ak to the rim of the cap. Furthermore it will be seen that the said stitching Z2, is internal, in that it extends only through the inturned edges of the side cloth S, and lining SX, thereof,

so that the stitching is invisible when the said side cloth S, and lining 8X, are joined to the crown cloth C, and lining 0X, by the crown seam a, as hereinbefore set forth. This invisibility of rim stitch is an advantage, and adds materially to the value and appearance of the cap as an article of manufacture and sale.

As a further result of this method of rim formation sweat bands may be dispensed with, as the annular stiffener 1, not only reinforces and maintains said rim in shape while prescribing the wear size of the cap,

Y in the injury of the loose lining at present in vogue. The crown seam binding strip d, is also an important factor in adding strength and stability to the shape of the cap, while imparting a desirable finish thereto externally as well as internally.

y lWhat T claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A cap of the character designated, formed with side coverV sections and linings the rim,

edges of which are inturned and stitched together only on the inturn, together with a vizor the inner edge of which is interposed between and stitched to said inturned rim edges of the side cover sections and lining thereof, and also together with an annular size stiifener one edge of which is stitched to said inturned rim edges of the side: cover sections and linings thereof bythe stitching that secures said vizor in place, for the purpose described.
